I didn't ask for details of story . My focus was on a phrase that appeared in the verse you quoted " Son of God " .

who are those termed " Son of God " ?

and why is that title never applied to " Yahweh , The Father of all " ?
well it's only God the Son we can see, Jesus said after him will come the Holy Spirit so they are separate but still the same God

"And God said, Let US make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

KJV "He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."
Daniel:3:25 hopes this answers your question he existed in the old testament

Here is the origin and meaning of the star of David. Someone like you will soon ask why is there a blue stripes on the flag? Or why is the israeli flag white? grin

The Star of David, also know as the Magan David (Shield of David), has been a symbol associated with Judaism for centuries. A stone bearing the Star of David in a synagogue in the Galilee dates back to the 3rd century. It is believed to have been used as a decorative design.
A Star of David was used in the year 1108 in the Leningrad Codex, which is the oldest complete edition of the Hebrew Bible in existence. The term, Magan David, was used as early as the 11th century as a name for the God of Israel, where God is compared to a shield in the divine protection of King David.
A 12th century text, Eshkol ha-Kofer, a work on the Ten Commandments, refers to the Shield of David.
Coins found in the 13th century bear the Star of David.
The Star of David was used in a medieval Tanakh manuscript from 1307 in Spain.
A Siddur dated 1521 from Prague includes a large Star of David on the cover with the phrase, "...He will merit to bestow a bountiful gift on anyone who grasps the Shield of David."

The Star of David and Zionism
The Star of David became officially associated with Judaism when it was chosen as the symbol to appear on the flag at the First Zionist Congress in 1897. At that time, it became the symbol of the Jewish people, Zionism, and the Jewish communities throughout the world.
David Wolffsohn designed the flag for the First Zionist movement, which became the flag for the State of Israel when it became a country in 1948. He wrote,
"At the behest of our leader Herzl, I came to Basle to make preparations for the Zionist Congress. Among many other problems that occupied me then was one that contained something of the essence of the Jewish problem. What flag would we hang in the Congress Hall? Then an idea struck me. We have a flag—and it is blue and white. The talith (prayer shawl) with which we wrap ourselves when we pray: that is our symbol. Let us take this Talith from its bag and unroll it before the eyes of Israel and the eyes of all nations. So I ordered a blue and white flag with the Shield of David painted upon it. That is how the national flag, that flew over Congress Hall, came into being."

The Jewish Star of David Meaning
This six sided figure symbolizes that God rules over the universe and protects us from all six directions: north, south, east, west, up, and down with the middle - the hexagram - providing the spiritual dimension.
The Star of David symbol helps remind us that despite our efforts to accomplish in this world, just like God decided that King David would be successful in defeating armies much greater then his own, so too will God help us accomplish our goals. This is why we say, “Blessed are you God, Shield of David” in the third blessing recited over the reading of the Prophets every Sabbath (read more about The Jewish Sabbath).
With the forming of the State of Israel in 1948, the flag of Israel was officially adopted. At that time, the Star of David became more than the symbol of the Jewish people, it became a symbol of the State of Israel.

The Holocaust and The Star of David
During the Holocaust, the Jews of Nazi-occupied Europe were ordered to wear a yellow Star of David, with the word, "Jude," - Jew, to identify the Jews. If a Jewish person was seen in public without the Jewish Star, severe punishment or death would occur. The wearing of a Jewish Star was also an act of defiance by those who were not Jewish, but who defied Hitler and his orders. When the Jews of Denmark were ordered by the Germans to stitch a yellow Star of David to their clothing or face severe punishment or death, the King of Denmark, who was not Jewish, declared that he would be the first Dane to wear that yellow star and would continue to do so until this threat to his people was removed.

The Star of David Meaning and Kabbalah
In Kabbalah, the two interlocking triangles represent the reciprocal relationship between man and God. Our good deeds are represented by the triangle pointing up to God and God reciprocates by allowing holiness and beneficence to flow towards us. When a Star of David is worn on jewelry, it helps us feel like we are walking with the protection of God and as a reminder of his presence. It also shows our love for the State of Israel.

You brought the verse which mentioned the star of moloch which you suspected to be the adopted star of David...you should have explained and shows similarities between the two first to draw your conclusion.

The moloch start is not the star of David (Magen David) or Shield of David.
can you provide any proof that it's not? you agree Star of David isn't found in the Bible

Answer question number 2 na

Imagine that and yet an insignia like that found its way to earth long before mankind had the tools to observe planets in our SS
so your point is that Israel use it as their symbol because they love Saturn?

It is the six-pointed star and the Jewish emblem seen as equivalent to the Christian use of the cross. In esoterica it is used as a magical gateway as well as a spiritual shield.
magic?

The questions I asked are not ambiguous. Here they are again:

If a star of moloch was mentioned in the bible, what makes you to think this star is the star of David?

How does the star of moloch looks like? As we all know that there are many stars with different shapes and number of edges.

After you answer..then I will explain the star of David to your dead brain cells.
I never said it was the star of moloch, that's why I'm asking you what it is

Bible truth "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
Revelation:3:9 ..... "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."
Revelation:2:9. ....For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Always quote and read to understand..Joel 3:1-7

1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;

5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples (Al-aqsad) my goodly pleasant things:

6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.

7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:

Verse 7 is all in your face today and you are crying foul. tongue cheesy

Like I said, no one knows why Jews adopted it. The reason could be more cultural than biblical.
Okay, it's not really an answer though but ok
Christianity Etc › Re: What Is The Star Of David? by danvon(op): 7:52pm On Dec 18, 2017
Ultimus:
Like all religions, there must be some insignia that speaks the name of a religion once sighted. The star of David might have no root in the biblical history but it is a symbol that has existed for a long time in Jewish history.

The conjecture goes that it must have been adopted to represent Judaism because of some semblance to the Christian cross.
Judaism is supposed to be about the Old testament surely something like that should be in the Old testament
Christianity Etc › What Is The Star Of David? by danvon(op): 7:22pm On Dec 18, 2017
While we are on the topic of Israel I'll like to ask anyone who knows what is the star of David because it's not found in the Bible one time...but there's a Star in the Bible the Star of Moloch
KJV
"But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the STAR of your god, which ye made to yourselves."
Amos:5:26

"Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the STAR of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon."
Acts:7:43

However there are other religions that use the Star, famously Wicca and Freemasonry, and it's the Symbol of the Nation of Jesus Christ? please anyone who knows what the Star of David is I'll like to be educated

You have not answered my question clever muslim. Where was this Palestine? Was it a village or a town i side Bethlehem? because where you are trying to force as Palestine was Bethlehem the City of David the bieth place of Jesus.


So, answer me, where was Palestine, or was Bethlehem a village inside Palestine?

So you think i didn't know there was a Palestine in the Bible? I asked if it was where Arabs are claiming it is.
OK using your logic was there a nation called Israel in 70AD?
